<p>Can someone explain a little the effect of visibility, or lack thereof? </p><p> </p><p>

Will my popularity growth in a region suffer if I don't visit it regularly, and if that is the case, what is considered regularly? How big is the effect?</p>

[vbase]

Are there any advantages to having people in a stable, apart from the obvious "note-keeping" or "remembrance" value?

If you're not being broadcast in that region and don't visit then you will lose popularity because people will forget about you.

TEW 2016 keeps "stealing focus" and the end of every day while progressing multiple days. Can I change this so I can multitask without having to click back to what I was doing every minute?

<p>Can somebody guide me on the risk levels of broadcasters? Do they directly relate to the content risk of the match?</p><p> </p><p>

Thank You in Advance.</p>

Meaning if a broadcaster only allows very low risk content, you won't be able to use matches or angles that have medium or high risk on shows done for that broadcaster.</p>

If a worker refuses to sign with your company because your product is too risque will increasing your company's size increase the chances of them signing or do you have to change the product?</p>

I have a worker on my roster who has a Power level of 100, which is great - but what effect does the power ability have?

Is there some kind of help file for TEW 2016? I'd really like to get better at properly constructing a card, learning how to use the different types of match styles (work the crowd, calm the crowd, etc) and just overall be better at this game.

[Kingster]

In-ring and popularity.

 

Thanks, Adam.

There is no Word document like there used to be in previous versions of the game. However, there's the new "player's handbook" on your office screen (the button on the far right). It's really helpful and goes really in depth on certain topics.

I tend to get better match ratings by just keeping a match "Regular" instead of adding a match aim to it. In fact, if I take, say Tommy Cornell vs Wolf Hawkins I got an A* on their title match just set as Regular where, when I set up an Epic rematch it was rated an A but a few ticks lower (like maybe a 93). I'm not really seeing any boosts or points to using Match Aims, other than what's required of my Product setting. Does anyone else experience this?

 

I almost think there should be a little penalty for a match just being "Regular" to encourage use of Match Aims more.

I seem to get higher ratings on Story Telling matches than Regular. Epic needs the crowd to be at the right level and probably other factors to get a bump.

Maybe it's not meant for the upper guys who are already putting on great matches without any outside factors.

I don't know if this had been asked before but how many titles should I have at any given time like at what size should I add a cruiserweight, women's, tag, or hardcore (tertiary) title to my show along with when to do a brand split and the titles they require like the main title on both or every title is exclusive.

But at the same time I doubt a global size would have only 1 main event. I do though add in a cruiserweight title regularly in my games just because I want to push Gregory Helms or a character I found.</p>

Hey guys, what are some reasons a worker would reject negotiations with you? I've ruled out bad relationships with my user character and he's a reasonably liberal worker so that's not a factor, even though it's not a particularly risky promotion. The only things I could think of are he's from Japan and I'm a US promotion (though I'm international size and he can work in the US) and that he's a part of three promotions already, all PPA. I'm thinking that's probably it but I'd like to get some confirmation on that. Thanks in advance.
